India grab 10 medals to keep second position

The star pair of Leander Paes and Sania Mirza crashed out of the mixed doubles event after suffering a shock defeat, even as India&rsquo;s other players, including top seed in men&rsquo;s singles Somdev Devvarman, reached the semifinals of five other events. The defeat of second seeds Paes and Sania, 2006 Asian Games gold medallists, came as a rude jolt as they were considered favourites to win the event. However, Scotland&rsquo;s Colin Fleming and Jocelyn Rae shocked the Indian duo 7-5, 6-4 to pull off one of the biggest upsets in the competition so far. Before the defeat of Paes and Sania, India had an extremely successful day with five wins out of six matches in different events. Although Paes and Sania were playing together for the first time since their Doha triumph in 2006, they were still considered hot favourites.
